Project comparison

Cross-project XBOW scores are each project’s public self-reports, run under different forks, models, turn caps, and retry protocols. They are protocol-sensitive and should not be read as a matched-conditions ranking. These are historical comparison figures, not a refreshed survey of each project’s latest release. 0’s row comes from the 2026-05-06 ledger snapshot.

Two distinctions:

  • Best-of-N ≠ single-config ≠ single-shot. BoxPwnr’s cited number unions configurations. 0’s consolidator also unions successes within each model ID without enforcing one configuration, one attempt, or one target mode. Neither grouping establishes a matched pass@1 comparison. See Methodology.
  • White-box ≠ black-box. Shannon reads source, which lifts the ceiling on challenges with no web-facing vector. Not directly comparable to black-box-only runs.

  • Blind verification: an independent agent re-exercises candidates on the verification path. Other workflows retain their own evidence states.
  • Reachability: packages/core/src/triage/reachability.ts uses patterns to assess whether a sink is callable.
  • Scanner agreement: the optional foxguard check compares the same tree (packages/core/src/triage/multi-modal.ts).
  • Cost accounting: the historical cohort records $5.20 per solved challenge; repeat-mode aggregation has limits described in Methodology.

These results use different models, tools, memory, search strategies, and agent counts. They do not isolate agent count as a cause. 0 uses shell tools and supports concurrent spawn_agents for parallel strategies.
